We, at the gateof the stockade, follow the migrations of the creatures imagined intolife outside; and it is best that I do as we always have -- let thegate swing open to let the curiosity roam, so that you can see some ofthose that came down through the years to drink at UBC and then moveon. Each of us has our favourites; you will find yours.' -- GeorgeMcWhirter, from the IntroductionWords We Call Home is a commemorative anthology celebratingmore than twenty-five years of achievement for the UBC Creative Writingdepartment -- the oldest writing program in Canada.
